Simons turns up, Celtics outplay Miami Heat in crunch-time Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

The Miami Heat played well, even without two key players, and had a lead for most of the game, until falling apart in the fourth quarter. It wasn't Jaylen Brown, but Anfernee Simons, who did the damage with 39 points. Ethan Skolnick, Greg Sylvander and Eternal Bast discuss the defeat, and why Kel'el Ware played so little again.
